"I had a great pair of lifestrides with a croc pattern that I purchased in a store about a year ago. Long story short, I took a tumble down some steps and tore up the design. I thought just buying online would be ok, but this new design doesn't work for my feet. The heel is slightly higher and the pointed toe crams my feet. The ankle part digs into me and its painful. I'm hoping the older, simpler, more comfy style comes back!!"
